"In the case at hand, apart from the reporting of the facts that are part of the inquiry into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, an analysis of the book and of the rest of the published material finds that the now 1st appellant [Gonçalo Amaral] therein sustains the thesis that an abduction did not take place, but rather the accidental death of the child, followed by a cover-up – through the concealment of her cadaver and the simulation of that crime – by plaintiffs Gerald and Kate McCann, now the subjects of the appeal.

It results from the aforementioned publication that the means of evidence and the indicia that it reports to are, essentially, those referred to and documented in the respective criminal enquiry.

Nevertheless, the exposed thesis, that the child died accidentally and that fact was concealed by the parents, who have broadcast, in order to deceive, the hypothesis of an abduction, is not new – the same is equally contained in the report which is mentioned under number 9 of the proven facts, determining the arguido constitution of said subjects of appeal [Kate and Gerry McCann], and was, after a copy of the inquiry was made public, published in the media (numbers 65 and 66 of proven facts)."

Now that we know the McCanns will appeal to the Supreme Court, I imagine their "fresh heartache" will be that, having wholeheartedly committed the remaining money in the fund to the "search", they will resort to additional public fund raising to cover the appeal costs.

While trying to keep up-to-date on today's good news and all the comments, I am sharing a thought for the McCann twins who will undoubtedly hear about the news either from TV, newspapers or their schoolmates which will conflict with what their parents would have them believe. Poor kids.

Oh yes interested I agreed how many victims from day one poor children all these court battles I hope it ends now all of it .GA will !look a bigger man of the says enough now he is a brave man and while I'm happy with today's news I hope he can move on with his life

I just knew it - BOO HOO - the McCanns' pitch to the public will be 'we can't do both - we need more cash'. That will be the mantra as we approach the ninth anniversary of Madeleine's demise.

Oh diddums! Amaral's book was hindering the search, they said, so they spent all that time suing him rather than searching. Now, if they have to pay the search will be harmed. And I still ask, what search?

I'm clearly stupid. I thought the British tax payer were funding Scotland Yard and their "search". What do they need money in the fund for ?

Exactly! They threw money at dodgy detectives and now that Scotland Yard has been given extra cash, what do the McCanns need more money for? When did they last put any money into searching for their daughter?

I never could figure out from day one why the parents of a missing child would need money for the "search". The police and the good people of Portugal were searching for Madeleine while the McCanns were busy setting up the fund to cover legal costs (among other things). My question from the beginning has been 'Why would the parents of a missing child expect to have legal costs, unless of course they knew more than what they were sharing with investigators?'

The fund should never have been set up .although the UK has spent money I think dc played a blinder at the time .I posted so .fu nd it stop the other fund because didn't they compare dc son at the time so it might be a case of be careful what you wish for

One day I hope that the truth to what happened to Madeleine will be known .there have been too many victims in this Madeleine the main one GA his family and others bit I hope that nobody makes any more money from here on in .including GA I hope he gets on with his life and holds his head high s true gent but putting the book back on the shelf would be wrong now I think
